We could keep a list of hardware where authentication was rejected, so that we
won't keep on trying to reconnect with a wrong password.
But we should keep on retrying, if the fault was a connection fault only, but
not a reject due to wrong credentials.
Probably in NM we should have a menu entry
Even it is annoying to be asked for a password when not editing the network
settings.
Just ignoring the failure and searching for another network is the best thing
to do when an access point cannot be connected to.
Probably we could have some settings where we could choose to do the following
There is a potential security issue here.
Whenever a legitimate program is seen asking for a password as the
result of an automatic operation people come to think of it as normal.
This undermines the suspicion that we would otherwise encourage in
people to help them avoid scams and malicious

Is there anything we can do to help upstream with this? Upstream does
not seem to have a plan to fix this (the linked gnome bug was last
updated 3 years ago)

Another usecase when this behaviour is bad for UX:
I once connected to an AP created by a friend of mine with his iPhone, the AP
name was "iPhone"...
now it seems whenever I go close to a person who has an iPhone hotstop active,
the device tries to connect, fails, and when I'm back home I find
any update on this?
This is quite annoying especially on phone devices.
When you leave a WiFi an NM tries to reconnect and fails because it's too far,
it treats that as an auth error, that prompts a UI dialog on your phone, asking
for WiFi password.
That's already not ideal, but there's more:
Any reason why this bug is marked as wishlist?
It has been failing for many years, and continues to be somewhere
between an inconvenience and a headache. I keep running into it lately
because it breaks automated tests or makes them unreliable.
